Speech of the Mother :
KABIT
They had taken all the comforts with them and giving us great agony, they have left us to see also the agony of the death of king Dasrath.
The king ram, seeing and listening to all this, is not softening, O Ram! accept now whatever we say, please tell, who is the survivor Lord here?
O Ram! take the reins of kingdom and do all the work. Tell us, why are you going now?
O exiled Ram in the garb of an ascetic and taking Janaki (Sita) with you, why are you giving me sadness?265.
I shall also put on the black garb leaving the country of the king, and becoming an ascetic, I shall accompany you.
I shall leave the family practice and abandon the royal splendour, but shall not turn my face away from you.
I shall wear the rings in the ear and smear the ashes over my body. I shall live in persistence, O my son! I shall forsake all the royal paraphernalia.
I shall adopt the garb of a yogi, and leaving Kaushal (country), I shall go with the king Ram.266.
